This fine antique Indian teak wood dowry chest dates back to the late 19th century, circa 1890. Originating from southern India, this chest was traditionally used to securely store valuables such as cash, coins, jewels, silks, silver, and manuscripts. Crafted from solid teak wood and adorned with its original iron fittings, this piece remains in excellent condition with minor blemishes and signs of sensitive early restoration that add to its vintage charm.
Today, this versatile treasure chest is repurposed as a stylish coffee table or storage unit, making it a functional yet decorative addition to any home. Each item has been personally sourced by a member of the Jardinopia team during their travels in Rajasthan, India, ensuring authenticity and uniqueness. Dimensions: 83 x 46 x 43 cm (32.6 x 18.1 x 16.9 inches).
